Brain full. Abort, retry, fail?

I read somewhere that even the most highly effective people can only remember 9 things at one time.

Any more than that, and something’s got to give.

I also read somewhere that the definition of madness is repeating the same actions and expecting a different result.

I’ve been thinking about these two things a lot lately.

I’m back to work after 3 days off and I found a HUGE amount of work waiting for me on my desk.

I have a lot of notes from people whos looking for answers about almost every thing.

My brain is full.

It’s full to bursting with things I have to remember.

Things I have to take into account.

Things I have to do.

The things I have to do require me to take things into account.

There are multiple dependencies, multiple uncertainties.

I find myself wondering at which point it beccomes ok to say “actually, this is too much”.

Change is coming, but at present there is limbo.

I suppose I should welcome it as the calm before the storm, but I don’t.

I’ve never been very good at being patient, at waiting to see what happens.

I wonder if I’m being over-dramatic – if it’s just lack of sleep and a bad spell at work.

I really don’t know.
